OK, this post could turn out to be one of those embarrassingly wrong predictions, like "Dewey defeats Truman", but I'll make it anyway.
I think Hillary will fail to win the Democratic party's nomination, and it won't be because of sexism either. (That would be a factor in the Presidential election, and she won't be getting to that level anyway).
No, Clinton is competent, experienced and efficient, and most people see her as such. That's the problem.
Imagining a world where Hillary Clinton is in charge takes one back to one's childhood where one's mother was in charge - "Do your homework!", "Clean up your room!"
Shudder!
Mom knows best. But we're adults now, mom. And we enjoy our adult freedom to keep our surroundings messy and not do our homework once in a while.
Nobody will vote to go back to their childhood - and its powerlessness. Even if mom was around to take care of everything.

Usually, children are raised by a father and a mother. In fact, children prefer having both parents. If the father does not do his job of parenting and the mother does, it does not make the mother an autocrat and dictator. Rather, it makes the father a loser and a jerk. Are you saying you wouldn't vote for the person who cared enough about your life to tell you right from wrong because you hated taking orders back when you were a child? Even now, now that you should know right from wrong?
Sgorappa, did you actually read the post carefully or pick up random words "don't", "vote", "for", "mum"?
